The volumes 1 and 3 have been produced as separate documents of this report series.

Forty seven of the eighty-one abstracts that were submitted were accepted for compiling full papers. In the past couple of years the sharp increase in food prices worldwide has raised serious concerns about food security, especially in developing countries. To effectively address these concerns a holistic approach is required that encompasses improved agricultural water productivity, adaptation to climate change, targeted and appropriate institutional and financial measures, and a consideration of environmental issues. The main purpose of the conference was to share experiences in these areas and to find opportunities to improve farmers? incomes and food production, and to promote environmentally sustainable practices in Sri Lanka in the face of growing water scarcity and the challenges of climate change. 2010 2014-06-13T12:56:56Z 2014-06-13T12:56:56Z Conference Proceedings https://hdl.handle.net/10568/38834 en Open Access application/pdf International Water Management Institute Evans, Alexandra; Jinapala, K.
